Signal Flares & Automatic Recognition Device colours…
We’re enabling the flare release and ARD for our model Whirlwind and need to find out the following.
Flares: What were the colour’s used and the type/order sequence of signals that were usually given?
The ARD I understand in the Whirlwind was just a signal pistol, but again I would need to know the colour’s used and signals usually given please…
Or is there a Air Ministry booklet with them all in?
Many Thanks
Stuart

Ex Whirlwind aircrew seem to be a bit thin on the ground don't they 
A suggestion for you BlueSky is to go to the Gaining An R.A.F Pilots Brevet In WW11 thread in the Mil forum and send a PM to cliffnemo.
The available Very colours would have been the same standard issue throughout the RAF at that time, and he may recall what they were or suggest someone who might know.
